Chemical Properties of Uranium

Compounds Containing Uranium:
UH3- Uranium Trihydride
UCl3 Uranium Trichloride

Uranium is high reactive element and reacts with most non metallic elements and their compounds.


Uranium is a very famous element. It is used in things such as X-Rays, Nuclear Factories and Nuclear Weapons. Contrary to the popular belief Uranium is more common than both mercury and silver. Many isotopes of Uranium are used in the creation of weapons and armors, in example te shells of Tanks are sometimes made with U-238, the most stable isotope. Uranium-235 is used as I stated earlier in Nuclear power plants which provide America with around 20% of its energy. U-235 is also used in the creation of nuclear weapons. Ancients used Uranium to color ceramics.
